Michaela Slinger is a singer-songwriter obsessed with the interstitial spaces between love, loss, longing, and uncertainty. Her forthcoming EP ENDiNGS was recorded at Protection Island Studios in British Columbia and crafted around her singular voice as she holds life up to the light and examines it with care. Michaela’s sophomore record received acclaim from RANGE, The Georgia Straight, Portside Live, Daily Hive, and CBC Music, secured her the cover of Amazon Music’s “Fresh Folk and Acoustic” playlist, and was written with collaborators including Khalid Yassein (Wild Rivers) and Ryan Stewart (Carly Rae Jepsen). She was hand-picked to open for Dermot Kennedy, Sasha Alex Sloan, and Donovan Woods on her 2023 North American tour, and landed a 2024 Western Canadian Music Award nomination for “Pop Artist Of The Year”. As a songwriter, Michaela has had songs cut by Lili-Ann De Francesco (Universal Music Group) and performed at Canada’s JUNO Awards. As with her previous LPs, Michaela wrote ENDiNGS over years of musical pilgrimage between Vancouver, Nashville, Los Angeles, and Toronto. But she’s different, less hurried—there’s an honesty in these songs that could only emerge from someone willing to walk slow.
